1. A remote sensor, comprising:
- a plurality of integrated antenna units, wherein each integrated antenna unit includes an oscillator coupled to an antenna;
a network providing phasing information to each oscillator so as to phase lock at least a subset of the oscillators; and
a controller to control the phasing information and to modulate a transmission by the subset of the oscillators according to a binary code, wherein the integrated antenna units, the network, and the controller are all integrated on a semiconductor substrate.
